(U.R) The New York Yankees are "loaded" with talent at every position and do not need additional play ers, Manager Casey Stengel said. "Of course, I ain't saying we will win the pennant again," Stengel said. "That depends on how well everybody pans out for us and how the other teams strengthen themselves." Stengel, whose Yanks have won the American League cham pionship in six of the last seven years, said he had men "for every position," however. ' "Why, I got so many short stops I can't even remember their names. Of course Phil Riz zuto is' still the best, but at his age 37 we got to have some help for him." As additional infield strength, Stengel sited Gil McDougald, "a real major leager who can play anywhere," and Billy Mart in, both of whom have been B Leaguers Have Tilts This Week; Among prep basketball aggre gations of this area only Jack son County B Leaguers have conference engagements this week.

Instead, he started his career in sports as a sports writer for the Youngstown, Ohio, Vindicator. Part of his duties there was to cover games in the Class D Ohio Pennsylvania League.

Frankie Albert, playing it much more cautiously as coach of the San Francisco Forty Niners than he did when he was their quarter back, was satisfied today to re tain the three assistants who la bored in vain last season under Red Strader. - The former Stanford hero, in his first official act since being hired to replace Strader after the disastrous 1955 season, an nounced yesterday that line coach Phil Bengston, end coach Howard (Red) Hickey and coach scout Mark Duncan all will be f retained for the 1956 campaign. Albert who rounded out this staff himself as backfield. coach, said he will decide later whether he will add any more help. Bengston is the oldest coach in point of service, having join ed the squad in 1951 when it was run by Buck Shaw. Hickey and Duncan were hired last year. used successfully at third base, shortstop and second base. Skowron Goes Well "And look at first base," Sten gel said. "Bill Skowron did a fine job for us last year, al though he missed six weeks with a leg injury. "And Joe Collins why he's the best second-string first base man in the, majors.-1 Yogi Berra is a great catcher, of course, and Charlie Silvera and Elston How ard give us depth there." Stengel said he planned to work Howard more behind the plate in 1956 than last yeart first in the majors for the Yankees' first Negro. Howard still will be used at times in the outfield, with Mick ey Mantle, Hank Bauer, Irv Noren and Bob Cerv, Stengel added. "Why should we trade around and bust up a team like that?" he asked. "A first division club has to be careful about trading to avoid being hurt."-' Only Counting Tornado Travels ticipates finding each improved.

Their game, at 7 p.m. will be followed by a scuffle between Hawkinson Tire Tread and Yel low Cab. Hawkinson's is one of the .top contingents' this season in the Medford Independent Basketball League.

Rollie Pean, one of the Police captains, said that his squad basis its hopes on a fast break ing offense and shifting zone de fense. Whether the Officers can stand the gaff of a fast moving assault is a question.

Monti, a red-haired brush salesman from Cortina, had to set a record of 1 minute, 21.98 seconds in, today's heat to beat the 31-year-old Washbond.

Art Tyler, Roch- Dons See Cai As Possible Upset Team San Franrisr-o'tu.R) Coach Phil Woolpert, disdainful of the clamor that his USF Dons are cinches to win their. 40th straight basketball game next Saturday night, warned today that the possibility of California "upsetting us is real good."" The candid Woolpert rated the Golden Bears as "a well bal anced, good shooting team," dur ing yesterday's session of the Northern California Basketball Writers association. -'On the Spot' ' "We are on the spot until we drop one which can happen anytime," Woolpert went on. "If we happened to look up from our work we could stub our toe Saturday night," Woolpert as serted. "But we're still a pretty good ball club and I think we'll be up for this one." .' . Pete Newell,, whose rebuild ing Bears have carved out a fine 9-3 mark this year and have everything to win and nothing to lose Saturday, took the hu morous approach. "Maybe we'll put blinkers on our kids, or point 'em the other way," the folksy Newell joshed, "Anyway it will be an experi ence for those who haven't play ed against USF yet and we'll take the floor as scheduled." - York Ci Blended Whiskey. 86.8 TRIBUNE mm FOR RESULTS Phone 2-6141 ester, N. Y., rounded out the first five with a total of 2:48.50. Fastest Sleds The trials were held to deter mine the 20 fastest sleds in the field of 25. These 20 will race first when the official two-man competition begins Friday. The other crews will race after the 20 have taken their runs and will have no chance to make good times, because the track will be badly cut up by then. The trials ended amid a grow ing battle over whether the 1960 games should be held in Calif ornia and with -a U.S. plea for a change in the bobsled rules that favor the Italians. Austria has announced an all out fight to take the 1960 games away from Squaw Valley, Calif., and the matter is due for a complete hearing before the Congress of the International Olympic committee during the next three days. Fox Pleas The bobsled plea came from ! uonna r ox. J.&. memoer ot tne ' bobsled jury, who said Italian j teams have found a way to use the present rules to give them an advantage an edge that allowed them to dominate all the bobsled practice sessions on the Olympic course here. The battle lines are drawn in the California vs. Austria competition for the 1960 games and the California delegation, whose spokesman is James Cushing, is confident of victory.
